Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 1841 — Sitting with a person in a state

Abu Rafi' said: Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in one of the streets of Madinah while he was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah). Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah slipped away from there and went and took a ritual bath (ghusl). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found him missing, and when he came back, he asked him: O Abu Hurayrah, where were you? He said: O Messenger of Allah, when I met you I was in a state of janabah, and I disliked sitting in your company in that state, so I went to take a ritual bath. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)! The believer does not become impure."
